In the interview on Chiaroscuro (Gaiman linked to it the other day in the Journal), he mentions that 'Eaten' is one of the short stories that's not in "Smoke & Mirrors." 'How Do You Think it Feels?' is another one, according to a passing reference in an answer on the FAQ.

Does anyone else know how many stories total are in the UK edition, but not in the US edition? Anyone know what the other stories are? Are they available anywhere else?

Thanks,
Mark James

There are five stories that went into the UK S&M edition but not the US edition.

*In The End (aka Apple)
*Eaten
*The Facts In The Case Of The Departure Of Miss Finch
*Fifteen Painted Cards From A Vampire Tarot
*How Do You Think It Feels

check out Davey's bibliography for where they're also available (my bibliography page is being revised right now so is temporarily out of date)

oh, i always assumed, without checking, that my smoke & mirrors was the american edition, cause that's what you're more likely to find in the philippines.
but i guess i have the uk edition instead?
oh well.

In case anyone missed it, Mr. G. himself has taken up this question, as of the journal entry for 5th March.

yes, but he hasn't answered it yet, and honestly, he got some of the facts wrong. The ebook reprints 3 of the 5 stories, not all of them

I have the spanish edition, and I think that it's an american traduction, because it hasn't these five stories. It's a pitty! :P

Umm.. I got UK (headline) edition of SMoke&Mirrors but they're missing some stories. There are literally 50 pages missing (from page 294 to 343) and I missed "Cold colors" to The Sea Change. Does anyone have the same problem, or it's just my copy? I bought in Borders Singapore btw..
